My wife and I came here with the intent to order taho, BUT ended up adding more items from their menu.
Filipinos in N Texas, unlike those in more dense culturally rich communities in CA, NY, IL, live in fractured pockets, challenging them to find restaurants serving very good Filipino dishes & delicacies worth sharing.
Sure there are handfuls of Filipino buffet-types in the metroplex rotating the same dishes every week into "beentheredonethatsville" that appeal to the 'bang-for-your-buck' diners. PASS ako...
If you're looking for a full blown 'Barrio Fiesta' sit down type restaurant, avert your eyes to INIHAW AVENUE in Las Colinas, best in DFW metro IMO (read my Yelp review). Some reviewers in the minority cite sticker shock. However, I value freshly cooked tasty dining experiences over price any day. No complaints here...
If you're looking for lutong bahay 'turo-turo', Kainan sa Laguna is THE PLACE. Down home owners serving fulfilling dinuguan, bicol express, at kare kare to name just a few.
Tea Town is an order-at-counter modernly efficient designed resto, IDEAL for mirienda, IMO. Their electronic menu boards present: milk teas, fruit teas, milkshakes, smoothies with boba, leche flan, various Filipino snack treats, street food, pink gulaman, sago't gulaman, AND most importantly, taho! (see pics)
We ordered beef pares; arrozcaldo; tokwa't baboy; pork siopao; pork siomai; and taho. Towards the end of our meal, I overheard owner, Jojo, describe the Okinawa milk tea ingredients to two customers. Honestly, he had me at "brown sugar". Unfortunately, our bellies were more than satisfactorily full and decided to look forward to trying the various other beverages for future return visits.
Y'all try Tea Town and tell Jojo that Arnie sent ya!
